The Military Changed The Way We Eat

The University of Phoenix puts out a quarterly publication called Patriot. The magazine is geared to the school’s population of students who have military service.

PS Studios contacted me to produce images for the cover as well as an inside spread. The concept was fun to execute…we needed to produce a 1950’s “Leave It To Beaver” feel. With help from the talented make-up artist Allison Pynn and prop/wardrobe stylist Abby Ripes we pulled it off making the client very happy.

The story is very cool dating back to the time of Napoleon. It chronicles how the military created food items that could withstand the conditions of the battlefield and at the same time be appetizing, healthy and fresh. I was surprised to find that many of these food items became household staples that we use today.
